Quoted post [/b] The answer is so obvious too. The wholesale slaughter of non-combatant women and children is the only answer, but it's ok, because bush said so.

seeking Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 i'm with tesser. unless it's some extremely blatent shit, i dont blame none of yall for the death of civillians. hindight is 20/20, but in the dark, with rifles and bombs going off...i'm shooting anything that runs in my direction and isn't speaking english. anyone back here in america that can't understand what you guys are going through doesn't know shit, and doesn't matter. i hate this war, and i hate that anyone has to die, but that's life. as a whole, how do you guys feel about the insurgents? is there any real emotion attached or is it just kind of a matter of 'business'? does that question make sense? quick story... in ww2, there were american and german soldiers dug into fox holes in a field just a few hundred feet apart. it was the end of december, cold and shitty. for days they'd been there fighting. then all of a sudden, on christmas eve, they stopped and started singing christmas carols. in the morning, they all climbed out of their holes, and literally, just hung out, american and german, together. they played football. they talked (in whatever capacity they could). they traded hats, scarves, etc. then the next morning, they resumed fighting as if nothign happened. i think about that story everytime i think of war. it would be impossible for me to hate the insurgents, because truth be told, i totally feel where they're coming from. if someone invaded america, i would be them, ya know? i could fight them, and i could kill them, but i dont think i could hate them. i dont know, long winded, but whatever. stay safe.

Rolln Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 My dad went to Vietnam, Staitioned in Khe San, attached to the special forces camp 101st. They were called the Phoenix and part of the SOG teams (that was basically of group harcore people the CIA pulled from all brances to ambush the bad guys like they were doing to us the whole war.) All of there missions were secret into Laos and North Cambodia. Every mission they left under fire. I asked my dads friends alot about these feelings about what they had to do and if they beleived in there cause. They all say we never really had time to think about it. We stayed as numb to that has possible for mental survival. It was summed up to me like this. One day we were about to the go into Laos A friend of my Dads said let me take your place today I have bad feeling and you have son at home. My dad aggreed.. Well The dude got killed that day with a few others. Later that same night my dad got drunk and was laughing about it. His freinds said no one thought that was wrong or foul or anything. Because it was the state of mind you stayed in so you can mentally survive something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledzep Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 pffffft, what seeking is talking about took place in WW1 and I think it was British and German soldiers, maybe Americans too, I'm not sure.

vyper- Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 have to disagree. i mean dudes out there fighting this war, he's seeing all this shit first hand. i highly doubt some pictures are going to disturb him any further then his current situation already is. and i think people need to see the power of what war really is like over there. seeking i swear ive heard of that story before but cant remember where, didnt something simliar happen on that mini series Band of Brothers ?? dunno if that got aired in america tho.

Dick Quickwood Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 good photos, maybe things would be different if the public could see photos showing the true essence of what's going on. photos like that cut through all the bullshit and make the whole thing very clear. is the burning tank u.s. or iraqi?

Gunm Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 The whole point of this thread is to provide homie with a breath of fresh air, a little bit of space to step back from burnt corpses, headless bodies, plumes of oily black smoke and dead comrades. Why do you think he wasn't going into detail about the people he killed, the friends he lost or the chaos around him? Then you fools come in and drop these flicks on him and the rest of us. He's supposed to feel comforted knowing the rest of us are regrading the horror of war as a mere "curiosity", a vulgar form of spectatorship that demands nothing more of us than the click of a mouse button? Wow, great, we see the real side of war but he's lived it and I'm sure his moments of respite from it don't need to be continually reminding him of whate he has to go back to in a few hours. You people are lacking in good judgement, class and respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
